October 1815: it is 10 years since Lord Nelson fell at the Battle of Trafalgar, and a celebratory dinner is being hosted by Vice-Admiral Sir James Bell to commemorate this anniversary. The investigators, along with a small group of dignitaries, are invited to the administrative heart of the Royal Navy for what promises to be a memorable evening. Those gathered all harbour dark secrets, and something is out for their blood.
A Drop of Nelson's Blood is a Regency-era who-dunnit with a mythos twist, taking inspiration from the 19th Century sea shanty of the same name. With great roleplaying potential and lots of intrigue, this is a good gateway scenario for keepers and players who have not played in the Regency era before.
A Drop of Nelson's Blood is intended for 2-4 investigators to play in a single sitting (2-4 hours). This scenario is designed for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition and contains:
50 pages including additional historical and background detail;
Full colour handouts, and maps;
Five pre-generated investigators with portraits;
A diverse cast of characters;
An additional print-friendly version;
An audio recording of the titular sea shanty.
